Lisa

just thought I'd toss these up here in case anyone was curious.  I tend to play her either from her days still training as a student/just graduated pilot with the Galaxy Garrison or else an established pilot with Voltron Force.  If I'm playing her with someone from the VLD verse, I can play her either as someone from the Galaxy Garrison or I can flip it so her version is from a set of planets that's not Earth-centric and is on a mission to find habitable planets for their own overcrowded solar system while battling with the Drule Galra.  Just let me know which you'd prefer if you're VLD.

• in canon, Lisa is not from Earth, though its never detailed where she is from.  In most cases, I’m going to headcanon that she’s from a colony that’s on the moon, a second generation.
• in canon, and its the 80s so the animation is always questionable, Lisa appears to be on the tallish side.  I headcanon her somewhere between 5'9 and 5'10.
• in canon, Lisa and the rest of her team are experienced pilots on a long mission far from Earth.  I headcanon her age in the 24/25 area for standard rp.
• in canon, Jeff asks her to talk to Chip when the younger pilot doesn’t get a letter from home and when she asks why her his answer is that she ‘always seems to know the right words to say’.  While she’s on his team, she’s not on his squad and this seems to imply that her knack with words and people is fairly well known and acknowledged.  It should also be noted that in the same episode, she’s the one that finds Chip’s forged letter in the first place and figures out what’s going on, bringing it up to the team leaders.  Which… indicates curiosity, observation skills, decent deduction and - perhaps a certain lack of limits when it comes to reading someone else’s mail.
• Since I am headcanoning that she’s moon born, I’m also going to headcanon that by the time Earth has colonies there, they’ve found ways to deal with the issues that a child being born in low or zero G entails.  I headcanon Lisa being on the tall side, with bones that have needed treatment throughout her childhood and adolescence to reinforce them for normal gravity as well as other stimulants and supplements to do the same for her internal organs, etc.  She has the normal level of fitness and stamina for someone with her training and matches her Earth peers but her bones are heavier than normal and less porous and she sinks like a stone in water.  She can swim, there’s just very little natural buoyancy.  She naturally weighs a bit more than her peers of the same size as well.  The upside is that her bones don’t break as easily.  She also has small port scars at strategic areas because the treatment was an ongoing process.
• in canon, Lisa’s on the Sea Team.  Because, yes, she sinks fast but she loves water and swimming thanks to an utter lack of it growing up on the moon.
• in canon, toward the end of the series, she gives Jeff a charm for luck.  I’m going to headcanon that she’s either religious or superstitious to a certain extent though given she’s never shown doing anything else but that one incident, it would seem to be mild or private most of the time.  I’m going to headcanon that lunar colonists have a reputation for being superstitious, not because they necessarily are but because people on Earth grow up with so many of their own superstitions about the moon it rubs off on the way they think about people from it.
• in canon, she’s shown going back for a fallen alien artifact when running would have been the smarter move and in another episode she gives a lecture about comets and ancient Egypt to listening crew members (complete with Egyptian chanting).  So I’m going to headcanon that 1.she probably minored in history or did independent study depending on how her training was set up and is still very deeply in love with learning about the past and lost civilizations and 2. she doesn’t exactly prioritize her own safety when the crap hits the fan.
• she does drop a pretty bad pun in canon the one time her ship is knocked out of commission.  There’s a possibility it will happen again.
• in canon, Lisa is one of the ‘you keep trying for peace until it sticks’ members of the crew.  She’s also a member of Voltron so she has no objection to fighting when its necessary, but she’s always angling for peaceful solutions first and she tends to give a lot of second (and third) chances.
• she looks left handed in canon so I’m going to go with that.
• Lisa loves romance novels. That's canon.
